Partner and Sponsor Levels

Partners and Educational Alliances

Whether your company is looking to build relationships with our 2,700 member camps, 7,000 camp professionals, engaged camp parents, or to tap into the American appreciation for the camp experience through our trusted brand, the American Camp Association offers multiple opportunities to develop mutually beneficial relationships:

Through camp scholarships, ACA has sent approximately 800 children to camp, children who otherwise would not be able to afford the life-changing experience. However, to achieve ACA's 20/20 Vision[4] of 20 million youth attending camp by 2020, we need corporate and foundation support to help us move our mission forward to make camp available to children from lower-income households.
